As you have eaten simple carbohydrates, it is easily digested into sugar and absorbed into the blood. The blood sugar level increases very quickly beyond the normal range. The body senses this and signals the pancreas to produce insulin.

Insulin removes the blood sugar and turns it into fat. The blood sugar level drops as quickly as it rises and you feel hungry, weak and the brain quickly lose focus.

Again you reach for more of the same food: simple carbohydrate that raises the blood sugar level again.

Each time you eat simple carbohydrate is followed by an insulin surge. The cycle repeats itself many times each day and you develop carbohydrate dependence.

Over time, the pancreas becomes very tired and body does not respond to insulin resulting in too much sugar in the blood. This can lead to other issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and overweight.
